I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated Chapter 1144: Vanished Relic

Chapter 1144: Vanished Relic

「Teyaah!」

Avenger pinned Roaneth down, then Fran dove in and swung her blade.

「GRAH…!」

Got ‘em!

My blade cut through Roaneth like butter!

I’m sure our hit just now dealt a ton of damage.

「HOW COULD I LOSE… TO A DAMN BRAT LIKE THIS?!」

Roaneth’s left arm began crumbling to pieces, a sign that he had little ti left. Yet he refused to give up.

Was he still plotting sothing?

「UGRAAAH!」

Roaneth thrust his gun at the sky rather than us, as if he was about to fire a blast directly upward.

「YOU WIN THIS BATTLE, GIRL! BUT NOT THE WAR! THERE’S PLENTY MORE WHERE I CA FROM!」

A powerful flow of mana circulated within the Carmine Fla.

「MY KING, I RETURN THE RELIC TO YOU! PLEASE ACCEPT MY OFFERING!」

『He’s trying to do sothing!』

Crisis Sense gave no reaction, but I can’t help but be worried when faced with such a huge amount of mana.

Wait, is Carmine Fla radiating space-ti mana rather than fire-aspected mana?

『Fran, finish it!』

「Nn!」

Whatever he’s trying to do, we need to stop it first!

Fran unleashed a divine-infused Sheathes of Wind, as I cloaked my blade in evil energy.

Clad in an aura of white and black, we closed in on Roaneth. That said, my target was the relic in his hands rather than the man himself.

「Haaaah!」

Even if we can’t destroy it outright, we should at least be able to knock it out of his hands! Sure enough, even our best blow didn’t manage to slice all the way through Carmine Fla. Soone tell what this thing is made of!

My blade remained stuck about halfway through the incredibly sturdy weapon.

But what happened next was sothing that neither we nor Roaneth could have anticipated.

Carmine Fla completely vanished from existence, and at the sa ti, I felt a surge of mana flowing into .

Cannibalize had activated.

The trendous load gave chills, and I could not help but scream.

『GRAAAAH!』

（Master!）

Shit, Fran broke her concentration! She’s leaving herself wide open!

That said, it seems Roaneth had also stopped moving.

「IMPOSSIBLE! WHAT HAPPENED?! THE TRANSMISSION FAILED…? DAMN BITCH, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?」

『Fran… I’m fine… Deal with Roaneth… first!』

「…Nn!」

I infused the newly acquired mana into my blade, though my mana control was honestly terrible at the mont. The torrent of raging mana overflowed as I forcibly converted it into divine energy with sub-optimal efficiency.

Still, the sheer power was enough.

Fran sliced Roaneth in half before he managed to recover. This ti, it’s over for real.

「AHH! AAAHHHHHH!」

Roaneth crumbled to ashes and evaporated with an unintelligible scream.

『Whew, we won.』

「Nn.」

「Woof!」

Wickerman must still be alive, but we didn’t sense any sign of him in the area. Did he already run? At any rate, we can now pause and catch our breath.

I glanced down at Roaneth’s remains and reconsidered his earlier words.

『Roaneth yelled sothing about a king, right?』

Was it “returning the relic to the king” or sothing like that? I first thought he was attempting an attack, but maybe he only wanted to teleport the relic to this so-called king.

『Avenger. Raydoss is ruled by a king, right?』

「Yes my god, that is correct. I was told he ascended to the throne a few months ago. I also heard rumors that he’s still a child, but I know little else…」

Avenger must have gotten this information when he was still on Raydoss’s side. Roaneth’s words implied that he felt so kind of loyalty toward this king… but that makes no sense. Why would a thug like that swear loyalty to a young child?

Anyways, Avenger is privy to so pretty important information, such as the details of Raydoss’s sches, the identities of top officials, and the locations of secret facilities. He has access to plenty of classified intel that normal citizens do not.

Yet Avenger knows almost nothing about the king? That’s really weird too. It seems the king of Raydoss has so secrets to hide.

I’ll keep that on my mind as we continue.

『Okay, let’s check the Cannibalize results… Whoa!?』

My mana capacity increased by 1000 upon absorbing Carmine Fla. I even got the Fla Control skill. That’s as much of a gain as when I cannibalized Fannaberta. In other words, Raydoss’s relics were worth as much as an Intelligence Weapon.

Actually, if Cannibalize worked, does that an it was a failed divine sword? It clearly wasn’t an Intelligence Weapon, right…? Guess I can’t say anything for sure.

I’ve heard that Raydoss still has quite a few relics, so we should keep an eye out for them. I can even try cannibalizing another one if I get the chance.
